Distinguished leaders, experts and friends:

We cordially invite you to attend the International Emergency Management Forum-2012 (Guangdong) in Conjunction

with the 3rd Annual Conference of the International Emergency Management Society (TIEMS) China Chapter

co-sponsored by the TIEMS China Chapter and Guangdong Emergency Management Society, which will be held in

Guangzhou, China, on July 12, 2012. We hope that this conference will strengthen the cross-border cooperation and

cross-sector interaction in China emergency management.

In recent years, natural disasters and man-made accidents are posing serious challenges to human society, especially

cross-border composite disasters with increasingly widespread impact. Facing the increasingly complex disaster response

situation, it is particularly important to strengthen the cross-border cooperation and cross-sector interaction in the

emergency management. Therefore, this conference will be held in Guangdong as this province has made outstanding

achievements in cross-border cooperation, and the theme of the conference is set as “Strengthening the Cross-border

Cooperation & Cross-sector Interaction in the Global Emergency Management”.

This conference will invite the leaders, experts and scholars from government departments and emergency management

institutions to carry out extensive and in-depth discussions and exchanges of latest concepts, methods and techniques in

prevention and preparedness, monitoring and early warning, response and rescue as well as recovery and reconstruction for

all kinds of emergencies and demonstrate the latest achievements in the field of emergency management and public safety.

In addition, we will also carry out pre-conference training on early warning, evacuation and handling of local disasters

such as tsunami on July 10 -11 and will invite well-known experts from home and abroad to give lectures. It will be the

second domestic training course of the TIEMS China Chapter following the TIEMS Training (Shanghai) Demonstration

Project in October 2011.

On July 13, nearly 40 government officials and experts in the industry will attend the half-day “Emergency Expert

Symposia” to jointly discuss the new mechanisms and trends of emergency management interaction and cooperation and

propose the solutions for the relevant problems. The secretariat of the conference will collect and issue the speeches by the

experts.

Distinguished leaders, experts and friends, let us meet in Guangzhou to work together for a better future of the

emergency management and public security industry!

Sincerely looking forward to your participation and support!
